Let's make this birthday one to remember.

34 years old (Born on November 15, 1990)

Happy Birthday, Kanata Hongo! From acing Ryoma Echizen's iconic tennis swagger to effortlessly capturing hearts on-screen, you've truly mastered the art of making us believe that tennis balls defy gravity and hairstyles remain flawless mid-match. Your portrayal in "The Prince of Tennis" still serves up smiles faster than a twist serve.

Whether you're dazzling audiences with your recent roles or charming fans off-camera, you continue to prove age is just a number—though we're pretty sure you're secretly sipping from the fountain of youth. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your performances have brought us over the years!
